why dont u register it and see????

Evil Diesel · 10-08-2007, 04:35 PM

If you don't register then it drops functions after 30 days or so.

It then keeps dropping bits until you get fed up.

Evil Diesel · 10-08-2007, 04:35 PM

PS -

Or at least the licence agreement

dxb335d · 10-08-2007, 04:56 PM

Evil Diesel · 10-08-2007, 05:11 PM

Is the microsoft office serial number stuck on the bottom of the laptop?

dxb335d · 10-08-2007, 05:25 PM

Evil Diesel · 10-08-2007, 05:50 PM

If your stuck I think I have a few spare copies of office sitting about somewhere - you can have a go with the serial numbers.

Or there is always BitTorrent .........

Word and windows becomes unusable when you browse too much pr0n. It was a safety measure to prevent you damaging the PC.

Might sound ibviouis but are you sure it wasn't a trial version? I.e. Did you pay extra for word and install it ? Lots of PCs and laptops come with a 60 (or however many) day trial of office after which you have to cough up the spondoolics/pocket money for the full version

nah, it still starts up, just cant do anything, cost nearly a Grand should have everything!

silverbmwz3 · 10-09-2007, 05:31 AM

Carlos, maybe that's what trial versions do? Just cos it cost a grand doesn't mean it should have everything - does it have a blue ray player? Doubt it!
Did you pay the company for office is what it comes down to - if you didn't pay them for it specifically, I doubt they included it for free....

I remember paying about £6k each for some laptops about 10 years ago. And they didn't come with Office.

The prices for useable laptops now are cheaper than Office was alone a few years ago ...

Sounds like you will have to pay for it or download the 'special' version.

Max_! · 10-09-2007, 08:34 AM

Or uninstall it and download the free openoffice:
